Polarized J / ψ from χ cJ and ψ ′ Decays at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate the partonic cross sections for the hadroproduction of polarized χcJ mesons using the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic QCD. We also describe how the polarization is passed on to the J/ψ mesons in the radiative feed-down χcJ → J/ψ+ γ and in the double-cascade decays of ψ′ mesons via χcJ intermediate states. These represent the missing ingredients needed to predict the polarization of prompt J/ψ mesons at the Fermilab Tevatron. PACS numbers: 13.85.-t, 13.85.Ni, 14.40.Gx

Polarized J/ψ production from B mesons at the Tevatron
In the framework of NRQCD and parton model, we estimate in detail, the production cross section for polarized J/ψ from B meson decays. In order to contrast with data, we also take into account additional J/ψ production due to decay of excited charmonium states. We calculate the helicity parameter, α, and as an application, we study our results for the Tevatron. This is in contrast to the earlie...
متن کاملSpin-Flip Interactions and the Puzzle of ψ′s Polarization at Tevatron
Nonrelativistic QCD provides a systematic approach for inclusive decays and productions of a quarkonium. By taking color-octet components into account, the approach can explain the ψ-anomaly at Tevatron, where the measured production rate at large transverse momentum p⊥ is in order of magnitude larger than the predicted with color-singlet components only. With the approach one can predict that ...

We consider the hadroproduction of χ c1 and χ c2 mesons and their subsequent radiative decays to J/ψ mesons and photons in the factorization formalism of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, and study the decay angular distributions, by means of helicity density matrices, in view of their sensitivity to color-octet processes. We present numerical results appropriate for the Fermilab Tevatron.

Polarized heavy quarkonium productions in Z 0 decays are considered. We find that polarizations of the produced quarkonia are independent of that of the parent Z 0 provided that one considers the energy distribution or the total production rate. Produced J/ψ's via the color-octet and the color-singlet mechanisms are expected to be 19% and 29% longitudinally polarized, respectively. The energy d...
متن کاملDouble gluon fragmentation to J / ψ pairs at the Tevatron
It has been proposed that the large cross sections for prompt ψ, ψ ′ , and χ c production at the Fermilab Tevatron p¯ p collider can be explained by a dominant color-octet term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into quarkonium. We show that this mechanism makes testable predictions for double-quarkonium ψψ, ψψ ′ , ψχ c , ψΥ and ψχ b production, as well as for W ψ production, us...
